Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[HenryJames 66180]

When you're 10 minutes into the in flight movie, and it's paused because the flight attendant announces over the loudspeaker that in flight movies are provided.

The half-moon shaped ice that most refrigerators dispense from the ice maker.  Damned near impossible to get it arranged in your cup in a drink without one piece going rogue upright and poking you in the nose.

Do any of them make the pure cube shaped pieces of ice? I have yet to own one or use anyone else's that make this shape. Just the half moon pieces as you mentioned.

Real ice makers are expensive and break all the time, but are awesome.

I have one that makes about 200lbs. My dad found it for cheap on Craigslist years ago. But I just use that ice to ice beer down and other items. I never use it for drinks. The pieces are a little too big.

I’m tombot the kitchen ones that make soft square ice

Fan apparel that come in non-team colors. Who the fuck wants a blue Ohio St shirt? Or a yellow Yankees hat? I'm a San Francisco Giants fan and I saw a guy today wearing a red Giants hat. Is he a fan or just some fashonista that wanted to be different? I was in OKC and he looked hispanic, if that makes a difference.

 People that don’t refill ice trays are absolute savages. 

[Underdog 28774]

Ice trays still exist? 

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

If you like good ice in your drinks. 

[Landomatic 3813]

Order something online...wait for like a week expecting it any day now...get a notice saying your item is no longer in stock and your order has been canceled.  You really couldn’t have told me that when I ordered it?  I needed that shit in like a week.

[miguelito 11312]

Yes ice trays exist.

All of these pointless "graduations" they have for kids these day in every single grade. There should be one graduation ceremony and that is to finish high school.

No, it's not a big deal that your child is moving on with the rest of their peers to the next grade. It's pretty impossible to fail these days as long as you just show up. No one gives a shit that your child is going from 3rd to 4th grade.

Big sign on door.  Please keep door closed while waiting in line

dumbasses stand in doorway letting a/c air out and heat in

[deadshank 24653]

Update:  manager asked offending dumbasses to please keep door closed.  Next person in line opened up door and stood in doorway, leaning on sign that says please keep door closed.

Chucklefuck drivers who enter the freeway to avoid the light at an intersection as I am trying to exit. They sit in that lane and I am expecting them to merge into traffic. Fuck you.

3rd to 4th grade is a big moment in Ky, also the year you get your drivers license. 

 

Neighbors who don’t clean up their grass trimmings off the street after they have mowed their yard.

"I can't even [with]..." 

 

And the semi-annual flying pet peeves:

What the hell happened to the day when people wore decent clothes when flying?  I'm not talking wearing your tux on a plane, but workout clothes and flip flops?! 

Keep your damn shoes on while the cabin doors are closed.

And there's a special place in hell for those who are abusing the "service animal" loophole so their dogs can fly free...

Yes this. I told my wife I wasn’t going to the kindergarten graduation. She said I was a bad parent. Didn’t argue.

People who are clueless about the difference between Sicilians and Italians.

Further, idiots who don't know the difference between northern and southern Italians.

Finally, dumbasses that don't understand that Italian food is different from Sicilian and varies greatly by region in Italy, then have the audacity to claim something is not "Authentic" Italian. 

Side note, the food issue also extends to Mexican food.

What the hell are you talking about

 

Did dago put you up to this?

[skipperj 377]

Apparently he hates the north. The south will rise again! Sicialian ravioli bologna for everyone!

You’re so right!

Agreed. And pos rep for the word "chucklefuck".

Dennis Hopper can tell you all about the differences between Sicilians and northern Italians.

I keep seeing various Texas themed T-shirt company ads pop up in my Instagram feed. They often use saguaro cactus imagery to represent the Texas portion of the chihuahuan desert. Saguaros are not native to the chihuahuan desert. Stop doing that, it’s annoying. Use a prickly pear or some native yucca.

the bathrooms on each floor of this building are different and i will go to the better one (one floor up) to do my shitting, thank you very much.

Never make fun of a man trying to upgrade his shitting location.

In my case all of the restrooms on the different floors are identical.

True story...we put locks on our bathrooms.  there is a usaa call center upstairs and they would murder our bathroom.  

[Celery Man 21001]

when a floor is vacant and so you go to destroy the bathroom on that floor but someone else already had the same idea.

[NorthLoop 14248]

One section of our building is all inside sales reps, which are about 95% women. The men's bathroom over there is a glorious place to shit. 

[Judge Roybeanbag 11821]

Building I used to work in, we were on the 2nd floor, and Time Warner was on the first floor.  I used to go wreck their handicap stall daily out of pure spite.

[You don't know me 1161]

We have 2 shitters in our office.  They are just half bathrooms inside the office.  I will not shit in there, and if my co-workers realize it then they should thank me for being considerate.  Outside of our office is another half bathroom and the other tenants are rarely here (mostly CPAs, so I assume that they only work in these offices during tax season).  Basically, what I'm saying is that I have my own private shitter. 

[PvilleStang 2921]

I usually hit the closest shitter to my office (2 stalls, 2 urinals), and the backup is the shitter a floor below (5 stalls, 3 urinals).  Depends on if they're full, and then how clean they are. 

 

Used to choose my shitter depending on where the middle eastern dude would go.  The whole wet paper towel and not holding your dick while pissing on the toilet seat made half our office ragey as hell.  But, alas, his contract came up for renewal, and they opted to terminate.

This one has come up at work recently and I don’t know why it gets to me so bad... “the third leg of the stool”. I generally shrug off most meaningless business buzz speak, but this sticks in my craw

[PvilleStang 2921]

Ah, yes, the stool's dick analogy.  That person has middle management written all over them!

[TornACL 7722]

Look, the trade off of working on the floor with the best shitters, is that sometimes you might have to deal with carpetbaggers coming to your floor to take advantage of your pearly white toilets.  You can't have it both ways.
